Academics
54% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 72% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 18:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,339 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $33,303 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $32,632 at $0–30k against $35,770 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 84% get grants averaging $4,160, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 83% take federal loans.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $32,632 |
| $30–48k | $33,381 |
| $48–75k | $33,125 |
| $75–110k | $35,074 |
| $110k+ | $35,770 |
